Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) supports our universal human rights of religious freedom, freedom of conscience, and freedom of worship for all people.  R.E.A.L. rejects hatred and rejects the activities of those who seek to promote hatred towards identity groups and specific religions.

On the Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) Facebook page, SIOA supporters are promoting articles seeking to legally ban Islam in the United States of America, and one SIOA supporter seeks Americans to “close all mosques while there is still time!”   The SIOA supporters discussions are on the “legal guidelines for the criminalization of Islam in the United States.”  One of the SIOA supporters seems resigned however that “As long as there will be people who will argue that they have religious freedom they will be protected.”  This was posted on the SIOA Facebook page on Sunday, July 18, 2010.

In fact, there will indeed always be those Americans who are Responsible for Equality And Liberty, who will support the American Constitution and who will support our universal human rights for all people, including freedom of religion and freedom worship.

The SIOA leadership is not unaware of such postings on the SIOA Facebook page.

That same morning, Sunday July 18, 2010, the SIOA Executive Director called for Jewish Americans to support the “English Defence League – Jewish Division,”  along with a new media video report of Ms. Geller speaking  on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) News about the plans to protest the Park Place mosque in New York City.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has previously posted on SIOA’s support for the English Defence League (EDL) and the EDL’s history of hate, intolerance, violence, and violent protests.  On July 19, 2010 the Birmingham Mail reported of EDL members attacking British police with bricks.
